My programme of research was divided into three separate projects in the philosophy of science:

a book Inter-theory Relations (D. Reidel), on the logic of relations between scientific theories;

a joint research programme with V. Rantala, (Helsinki) to develop and apply a new approach to the logical structure of theories;

a joint study with M. Tucci, (Rome) of the structure and comparison of theories of mathematical economics.
